历史街区更新中的社会结构变迁与空间生产——以苏州山塘历史街区为例

Changes in Social Structure and Production of Space in Historic District Renewal: Case Study of Shantang, Suzhou

历史街区作为一种特殊的城市空间类型,其更新过程是当前我国城市发展中所面临的难题之一。文章从空间生产理论入手,以苏州山塘历史街区为例,分析了更新前后社会结构以及街区空间类型的变迁过程,认为这一过程在消解了街区原有传统社会关系的同时,构建了另一种开放的社会结构体系,由此产生新的空间生产需求并反映在空间景观的改造之中,这在本质上无法实现历史街区的文化传承。最后提出控制空间使用主体的替代,促进街区的渐进式更新是一种较适宜的历史街区更新途径。

As a special type of urban space, historic district renewal process is one of the problems we are facing in China＇s urban development. This paper applies theory of space production, through case study of Shantang historic district in Suzhou, to analyze social structure before and after the renewal, as well as the change process of the district space type. It is believed that the process has eliminated the traditional social relations, and built up another open system of social structure as a replacement. The resulting demand for production of new space will lead to the landscape reconstruction. Finally, the paper suggests a more appropriate way to renew such historic district.
